I might add that there is little likelihood of ever enjoying "the same trip"with another....
The totality of the experience is internal...I suspect most physical affectations are a sort of projection of the mind-state. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I never thought I would recount this.... given it's nature.... After a long dry spell of such partaking... risked mushrooms (simple buttons)... light dose "For the first time in literally years, I remembered what it felt like to not be depressed... It was absolutely glorious... BUT.... Hours after the dose... after feeling like I had returned to "normal."... I had the worst anxiety attack ever.... (Like, under the sheets "please hold me" anxiety attack.) It was relatively brief - just a few hours.... And it is very difficult to "blame" the mushroom experience... I think my brain just dumped a giant anxiety reservoir... emptied. Truly soul shaking.. definitely not for the inexperienced... Haven't had an anxiety attack since... (been about 3-4 years) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Each "trip" is different ... each person is different... each time is the first time.

I suppose that's why my daughter is suggesting to me that her experiences were for self-awareness and ego busting, as if, that would also be my quest. But she is not in the same place as I am now. Do I want to bust up my ego (?) or is my ego necessary for survival (?)

Setting is super important.
I only did those two times on the same weekend. Once at night and once at day time. The night time was my first time and I was alone in a tent. It was very dark, a bit scary, but i surrendered to it. Embraced the fear It was a Saturnian/snake vision I was swallowed. I felt the weight of the universe, a giant leaden weight, crushing with pressure. I was reborn. Then the day time one was totally the opposite. Light free happy giggly. Jazz music. Lakeside. I dont know if I would want to have a fire going. That might be scary.

Do you think you need a powerful healing experience? This is the question we should ask ourselves before experimenting with copious amounts of substances. Remember that the drug is only half of the equation. The other half is what you take in with you.

Quite honestly, I think I do not need a powerful healing experience because I already do emotional/psychic healing and clearing/cleansing. But my daughter did say that I am holding back the 'gift' of psychic abilities which I should not do because it is a natural part and should be embraced (but she does not have it to the extent that I do, so our experiences vary). I explained that it is very strong and visions and such would intrude upon my existence in the now /mind and I choose for it to be held at bay until I choose to invite it. Talk about using one's free (stubborn?) will to block a philosophical/biological/metaphysical force.
